The LASC's Temporary Judge Program has been highly effective thanks to the participation of dedicated Bar members. The contribution Temporary Judges make to the people of Los Angeles County in general and the LASC in particular cannot be underestimated.

Temporary Judges serve at the discretion of the Presiding Judge and must be members of the California State Bar in good standing for 10 years. They must complete an application for each three year term and receive training outlined in Rule 2.812, California Rules of Court.

Neither appointment nor service as a Temporary Judge creates any employment relationship with the Court.

Panel attorneys may also be appointed as counsel, guardians ad litem, referees, special masters, court experts or fiduciaries as may be mandated or appropriate under the circumstances

Temporary Judge Program

Attorneys volunteer their time to serve as Temporary Judges which is an integral part of the Court system providing a valuable service to the court. This web page provides information about the temporary judge program.
